Dear Valentin Longchamp,

With the memory test, that takes place before the relocation, it is extremly slow (even if I reduce the size of the memory tested to a very small portion). Is it something you have noticed as well ?
This might be due to caches not being turned on yet?
This may explain one part of the issue.
I have done a little bit of profiling this morning, and the main culprit is the call to getenv_f in post_get_flags for the four environment variables:
"post_poweron", "post_normal", "post_slowtest" "post_critical"
This is extremly slow on my system (before relocation). The goal of these env variables is, I guess, to define the name of the tests that have to be run for each post level, right ? Is this the only way to define which tests are to be run ?
